The gods have fallen
From high up their mighty seats
From their regal and majestic thrones
Fallen down to human ground
The gods have fallen
Olympus crumbles down
As corruption takes over
Bending all the rules around
The gods have fallen
Their humanity ultimately showing
How easily they can give in
To the whispers of a madman
The gods have fallen
They have played puppets
To the machinations
Of an ambitious despot
The gods are dead
Lady Justice stabbed in the back
By her own magistrates
Scheming with unworthy tyrants
The gods are dead
And their supremacy extinguished
Now kissing the feet of one man
Whose hands are blotched by injustice and ******
The Court has fallen
Its gods are dead
The country bitterly weeps
Afraid of what happens next
Oh Pearl of the Orient Seas
Your gods who uphold your laws
Have succumbed to their humanity
Rise up and fight against the impartiality
Bring life to Lady Justice again
Restore the Cloth of Impartiality on her eyes
Return to her the Sword and Scales
That they have taken away from her
Or else the future of your youth
Will remain ever bleak and vague
A political piece concerned with the events that took place in my country today.
Our Constitution has been set aside
By our own Supreme Court
The Rule of Law has been violated
What else should we do?
By the way. Just to be clear.
I am a law student. What happened was against our Constitution.
I am disgusted by the ruling of our Supreme Court, its as if we have no bylaws to follow.
Anyway. Enough with the rants. Thanks for reading. Bye bye!
